BY JOHN RANDOLPH HAM, M. D., OF DOVER. 



The following sketch of the Physicians of Dover, N. H., is de- 
signed to embrace the name of every regular physician who has 
practiced in Dover, whenever existing records have preserved a trace. 
The names are arranged in the supposed order of settlement, and the 
date prefixed to each indicates the earliest year in which the phy- 
sician is known to have been in practice in Dover. 

1 63 1. Dr. Renald Fernald, sent out to New Hampshire by 
Capt. John Mason, of England, in 1631, was the first physician 
and surgeon among the New Hampshire settlers. He resided at 
Portsmouth, N. H., but was only five miles below the settlement 
at Hilton's (now Dover) Point. He was undoubtedly physician 
to the Dover settlement 'till his death in 1656. 

1684. Dr. John Buss was born in 1640, and was an educated 
physician. He began the practice of medicine at Wells, Me., in 
1672, and, although it does not appear that he was ever ordained, 
preached to that people, in addition to his medical practice. In 
1684 he moved to Dover, and settled in the Oyster River 
parish ; practiced medicine and preached in that parish 'till 
1 7 1 8, when he retired. In the attack upon the Oyster River par- 
ish by the Indians, 18 July, 1694, his house, with a valuable library, 
was destroyed by fire ; he was absent at the time, and his wife and 
children fled to the woods. The parish of Oyster River became 
the town of Durham in 1732 ; he died in Durham in 1736. 

1 71 7. Dr. Thomas Alden was practicing in Dover as 
early as Dec. 28, 171 7, when he witnessed the will of Judge John 
Tuttle. He was surgeon in 1722 to a company of soldiers that 
cut a road from Dover to Lake Winnipisaukee ; and had land laid 
out to him, July 4, 1723, by the town of Dover. He was found 
dead in the highway, at his horse's feet, March 8, 1732, having a 
deep wound in his head, supposed to have been received, in his 
fall, from a glass bottle which he held in his right hand ; one of

^ Samuel Smith, and moved to/jover Ne ck, where he bought of 
Joshua Cromwell 12 acres of land, 21 Oct., 1723. He had wife, 
Hannah, and the dates of birth of their children begin in 1719 on 
the town records ; with his second wife, Mary, he sold his dwell- 
ing-house and land, on Dover Neck, to Nicholas Hartford, 16

tate was granted to John Gage, of Dover, June 30, 1762. His 
estate was appraised at £,1126, 6s, iid.

serve's N. H. regiment in 1757, in the Crown Point expedition. 
He died about 1759, leaving five daughters, and one son (Cheney) 
who died a soldier in the Revolution. Tradition says Dr. Smith 
prescribed for himself a little grog several times a day, so often, 
indeed, that the doses often unfitted him for prescribing for 
others.

Newbury, Mass. ; began the practice of medicine in 1 735 in
